The pursuit of the bandits who held up the great Northern express at Wagner, in northern Montana last July, is still being carried on with relentless persistence.
The officials of the company have prepared plans for the robbers' capture which apparently embrace the entire continent. The pursuit begun in Montana the day following the robbery has been extended to wherever there is the slightest hope of finding a clew or the least opportunity of locating the stolen bank bills which formed a part of the robbers' plunder. If the bandits are captured it is altogether likely that a punishment will be given them that will cause the train robbing industry to languish in Montana for some years to come.
